WooHooooooo!!!! Carolina is here!!! Super excited to see you! Lots of wonderful ladies joining!!! Welcome!!!
My internal clock is still all loopy from traveling home across times zones and the added change of Daylight savings time last week so I was up suuuuuuuper late last night playing with paper, ink and stamps! Lookie:
WOW! Those are super cute. How long does it take you to make all of that? I feel like it takes me forever (like several hours or more) to make one card or one scrap page.
It would probably take me three hours just to make one!
You must have a lot of shape punches. I only have three circle punches. I need to learn how to make all these cute critters and flowers etc with punches. I can make basic shapes with the cricut but I just don't know where to start.
*hangs head all embarrassed like* Yeah, sadly I have lots and lots (and lots) of punches! I kind of have a little punch addiction thing going on. I considered getting help once, but decided life really was too short! LOL *insert evil laugh here* If you ever need any shapes punched just let me know and I would be happy to send you bunches!
I love punch art! Makes me feel slightly more justified in buying a punch when I can console myself with the fact that I will be able to use that shape for multiple uses! LOL (whatever helps me sleep at night, right!) LOL :rolleyes: Yeah, I got it bad!
We all have some kind of addiction. I keep buying paper when I probably don't need it! I go to Tuesday Morning and Big Lots scouting for paper!! I keep most scraps, too. You never know when you might need a two inch piece of paper! LOLOLOLOL
With all the paper I have, I can never find the right color either! It's mostly solid paper too. I have a hard time buying patterned paper. I really scrutinize the designs and the colors and if I will use it. I have bunches I need to use and haven't. So much paper, so little time, LOL!!
I did score some really nice DP at Hobby Lobby the other day in their clearance section. That's my new discovery. HL's clearance section. I have bought several Sizzix dies there recently. I need to stop going in there!!!!
Good morning ladies!!!. I know... AnnMarie is the "Queen of Punches". You are great lady!!! and I thought you may have LOTS and LOTS of them, LOL!!!. I love your punch creations. I die for dies, especially the MFT ones. My birthday is next month and my husband already "let me" buy $200 of MFT dies, I felt so guilty spending so much money on those dies but HEY...it is my thing!!!. I don't need clothes or shoes or purses or anything... I enjoy using my craft things!!!. Lately I also like to buy 6x6 or 8x8 DP packs. I used to buy 12x12 for scrapbooking but I love the designs of those little pads for cards. I need to get back to my scrapbooking though. I need to take my mom and myself to the doctor this morning and I realized I need to update my blog as well. I usually don't leave my blog unattended for so long, so probably I'll work a little bit this afternoon!!!. Hope you have a great day!!!
I feel much the same way. I don't spend too much money on purses or shoes etc. but show me a Stampin Up! cattie and I am a droolin' fool! Your hubby sounds nice! LOL I am glad that you treated yourself for your bday! You deserve it! Auuuuuugh! Paper, and dies and ribbon...oh my! So nice to be able to hang out here with folks that truly understand me! I have the most amazing family ever, but when I start babbling on about colors and paper and the texture of ribbons their eyes glaze over!..LOL
Nancy, isn't it crazy that we can own stacks and stacks of paper and still not have the exact right sheet? I wish I lived closer to a HL! Closest one is a couple of hours away. I know what you are saying about the patterned paper too. I try to visualize what I can do with small pieces of it rather than the whole 12 x 12 sheet. Otherwise I would just feel overwhelmed by it.
Good morning Carolina! $200 is a lot of dies! LOL I need to use my dies more. I have several nesties and there are some new ones they have now that are really nice! I haven't broken down yet though.
My DD1 doesn't do crafts. It's a bummer. She did make an altered notebook for a friend as a gift. I helped her a little with ideas. I even let her borrow some stamps and alcohol inks. She is addicted to horses instead!
I have been busy today (I know it doesn't look like it) just tidying up, dishes, dishwasher, laundry (just one load). I just sat down for lunch and I am trying to think about what I want to scrap.....decisions, decisions, decisions...

Hi, AnnMarie!
I just added the badge. I will start the bloglist as soon as I get home -- I'm at work (and although work is a necessity, it does cut into my stamping, crafting, and blogging time! Lol.).
I know what you ladies mean about crafting and crafting supplies. I used to buy shoes, purses, and makeup (before the crafting bug bit me). Now I don't buy anything else (unless I absolutely have to) except crafting stuff. And the SU catalog enables me!!! My catty is tattered and torn (from marking off all the stuff I wanted). Arrgh!
Carolina, your husband is so sweet to treat you to dies! I love dies, I love punches, I love paper, I love stamps and ink pads! I'm not sure if I can use all of them in my lifetime, but I love them all. I wish we had 48 hours in a day, where we can do our regular stuff in the first 24, and then craft in the next 24! Lol.
